Montmeneu (Catalan pronunciation: [mumːəˈnew], locally: [momːeˈnew]) or Punta de Montmaneu is a mountain in Catalonia, Spain. It is located within the La Granja d'Escarp and Seròs municipal limits, Segrià. Montmeneu is an isolated hill of the Catalan Central Depression.[1] Since it is surrounded by flat landscape the mountain is visible over long distances.

There is a triangulation station at the top marked "247126001". Although it is not the highest hill in the region —the Puntal dels Escambrons is 5 m higher— the top offers a magnificent view of the surrounding landscape.[2]

This mountain is one of the Emblematic summits of Catalonia.[3]
